Are facial exercises to change the size or shape of the face considered altering Allah's creation?
There is no harm in performing facial exercises to tighten muscles, lift eyebrows, help slim the face or lips, or reduce wrinkles. These exercises are beneficial for: reducing the appearance of scars, distributing facial fats, and increasing skin radiance by reducing wrinkles and tightening muscles. This is not considered altering Allah's creation; rather, it is preserving it, and the default ruling is permissibility. What is prohibited is the use of injections or surgery except for treatment.
